timing chain
Chain.
It has a chain. No maintance is needed.
Passenger side, next to the timing chain.
The timing chain is designed to last the life of the engine.
When the timing chain is bad on a 2002 Cavalier, the engine could have several symptoms. The engine could run rough, be hard to start, or not run at all.
4 cylinders have a belt and v6 has a chain!
there is no timing belt -- only a timing chain that does not need to be replaced
2005 Cavaliers have a timing chain. All Ecotec motors do, which would include all Cavaliers from 2003-2005, any Cavaliers from 2000-2002 that had the Ecotec option, as well as many other GM models.
compression? bad/worn/broken timing chain..
The z24 models have a 2.4L DOHC engine.If you look at the engine,on the passenger side it is flat.A chain goes all the way around that part on the inside.The chain turns two camshafts(intake and exhaust) and the water pump. So,the answer is "no" it has a timing chain.
